Cecilia Bolanos: This items works great. Bought a second pair for a relative. It seems pretty accurate & never had any issues with these. Only downside is it’s difficult to get a read depending on how your tire is parked because the head of it does not swivel

WW: Works as advertised, very easy to use.

The Old Curmudgeon: This is the second one of these I have bought. The original one is still working fine after several years but I wanted one in each of our vehicles. It is not difficult to use but read the instruction sheet. I find it works better to grasp the gauge at the nozzle and not back on the handle. I find some tire valves are simply a little finicky and you may have to try more than once to get a true reading without letting air out while trying to get a reading. Press straight on. This is a valve/user issue and not the fault of the gauge.
There are cheaper tire gauges but you really do get what you pay for. With the arrival of colder temperatures you may find your tires are a few pounds under-inflated (and may become a little over-filled when hot summer air and pavement temperatures arrive). Don’t rely on the gauges at filling station equipment. An accurate one of those is a rare occurrence. Happy motoring,

Ed: I have owned one of these gauges for over 25 years, and it still works. I decided to get a new one to keep in my car. It works great, but it works differently than my other one. You need to hold it in place for a reading whereas my other one gives an instant reading. Changing to psi was a little tricky, too. Overall when you get used to it, it will be great.

Ford Dye: This little Digital Tire Pressure gauge is fantastic! It is dead accurate, super easy to use, and read on the fly. It makes keeping my tires and my partner's tires where they need to be super easy and practical. This is far better than the old manual tire gauges that I grew up with.

Rob: Like one of the other reviewers said here - I had same one I bought in 2016, for $9 cheaper.

Couple things changed - small button needed to turn it on now and a delay before you can read tire pressure. Old one all you had to do was put it onto valve and it was instantly read.

It also auto shuts off in a short amount of time. If I read and fill a tire, it usually goes off before I am able to check and fill all 4 tires.

What happened accutire? Why did you change a good product and make it worse?

I will be returning this for sure.

Darren Brewster: This is my second of these tire gauges I have owned. The first was a gift given to me in 2003 after I bought my first brand new car. It is still going strong today (2015), without even a battery change. It feels sturdy in the hand, seems very accurate, and has never let me down. I would give that version a 4 out of 5 because it has a screen like a calculator, very difficult to see in the dark. It is its only failing.

Fast forward to today, and I have have a new version of this tire gauge for my wife, as we recently became a two car family. Right away I noticed that the fit and finish is not as good as my older model. The two halves of the case don't seem to meet up as cleanly, and there seems to be a little bit of give when you squeeze. Also, the black tip, which can unscrew from the main body doesn't fit nearly as well as the older model. This is very readily apparent, and not a case of me being overly fussy. I don't trust that I will get twelve plus years from this more modern version. For that, I would knock this product down to a 3 out of 5. But, this version can be read in the dark, which I think is a great advantage. The red numbers are kind of like the numbers on an...

John Williamson: Tire pressure gauges can run from the simple pencil types to the more sophisticated versions with dial or digital displays. Picking a good one depends on your personal needs, more than anything.

Bought this  Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Pressure Gauge  when it was on a Lightning Deal and based on personal experience with an older model from the same company. My needs were specific: measuring the tire pressure on a mountain bike. This review wouldn't even be here had I not lost the original gauge by leaving it in my back pocket when going out on a quick ride that became extended.

◆ Likes:

+ Clear LCD display; easy to read in varying conditions
+ Good tire pressure range; from 5-150psi in ½-pound increments
+ Well designed; angled head makes it easy to use
+ Uses three  LR44/A76  batteries; readily available

◆ Dislikes:

- The three LR44/A76 button cell batteries are tricky to replace

◆ In Use:

This digital tire pressure gauge is quite straightforward, and the directions for use and warranty info are printed on the back of the package. Before using it for the first time, it's necessary to pull out...
